Dropbox Support may be able to do this for you, but I used the following python script: https://github.com/eli-schwartz/dropbox-restore

A series change only affects the database, and the backup metadata.opf files, so the actual changes will be minimal.
Thanks for the script but tbh I'll feel safer reverting it all manually. I don't feel comfortable playing with dropbox as we have too much stuff on there. It's not as bad as I first feared.
